How to setup a Smart Bro in 4ports DLINK router


This guide explains how to set up a router for home or office networks with Smart Broadband ISP connection.

What You Need:

  • * A network router (D-Link DI-604 Cable/DSL Router, 4-Port Switch)
  • * Network adapters installed on all devices to be connected to the router
  • * A working Internet modem (Smart Broadband)
  • * A Web browser installed at least one computer in the network

Here’s How:

1. Connect the Ethernet cable from the Smart Bro canopy antenna to your PC.
2. On your PC run “command” and press enter type “ipconfig /all” to get the IP Address, MAC address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS Server information. See the images below:

3. Plug in the router’s electrical power source, then turn it on.
4. Connect the Ethernet cable from the smart bro canopy antenna to your DLINK router.
5. Connect the Ethernet RJ45 Network Cable to your PC from one of the LAN ports of your DLINK router:

6. Open your Internet Browser and open the router’s administration tool by accessing web address “http://192.168.1.1″ or “http://192.168.0.1″ consult your router’s documentation to determine the exact address for your model.
7. The router’s home page will ask you for a username and password. Both are provided in the router’s documentation.
8. Then go to WAN Setup and chose Static IP. Fill up all the information in the field that you gathered in step 2 then click Apply and the router will reboot automatically.

9. Open your web browser and visit a few Internet sites such as http://virtuosomaster.com/ to check if the smart bro connection is working.
10. Finally, configure additional network security features as desired to guard your systems, and change the default administrator password.

Tips:
Be sure each end of the cable connects tightly. Loose cables are one of the most common sources of network setup problems.

  8. @ Allan

    Yes you can share the connection up to 4 users without directing to the portal of smart bro.. You only have to do is to clone the MAC address on the router and that’s it you can enjoy sharing connection upto 4 users… hope this will help you..

    if there’s any problem just email me @ engberiones@yahoo.com
